Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk (or any preferred non-dairy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Spices & Sweeteners

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (use agave syrup for vegan)

Toppings

  • Fresh fruits: banana, mango, or berries (as preferred)
  • Nuts: almonds or walnuts
  • Optional: unsweetened dried coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, turmeric powder, and cinnamon powder. Whisk or stir well to evenly distribute the spices and seeds throughout the oats, ensuring each oat absorbs the warm flavors overnight.
  2. Add the Liquid Ingredients: Pour in almond milk or your preferred milk alternative, then add honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the oats and dry ingredients are coated and combined with the liquid.
  3. Portion and Pack: Divide the oat mixture equally into two airtight containers. This makes meal prepping easy, and you can double the batch to have ready breakfasts for multiple days.
  4. Top It Off: Slice fresh fruits of your choice like bananas or berries, and layer them on top of the oats mixture. Additionally, sprinkle nuts such as almonds or walnuts, and add a few coconut flakes if desired for an exotic twist.
  5. Chill Overnight: Seal the containers tightly and refrigerate them overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld. If short on time, refrigerate for at least 6 hours to achieve the desired creamy texture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give the overnight oats a gentle stir. Add a splash of milk if needed for extra creaminess, and top with additional fresh fruits or nuts for texture and flavor boosts. Enjoy a nourishing, ready-to-eat breakfast!

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with steel-cut oats, but soaking time may need to be extended.

  • Try different spices such as cardamom or ginger powder for a unique flavor profile.
  • Use any seasonal fruits as toppings for freshness and variety.
  • This recipe is vegan when using maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
